this right here is why people are getting pissed. they shipped yours today they shipped mine yesterday and we will get it the same day. I want you to have yours as soon as possible too but it makes no sense that they can make it a day faster for you than for me.

none of us have a reason to complain if they are shipped in the time bracket they say that they will be and are received in that bracket also but we are all trying to rationalize a cluster and its just not rational.

Agreed. Good point.
 
I dont even know where mine is going now. Since its not headed back to the states i get the feeling its going to country bounce a few times before it flies into anchorage or memphis.

How do I check Taiwan airport for fedex only flights without a destination?

My black 16GB 3G ATT, which has been 'prepared to ship' since Sunday night, just FINALLY SHIPPED!

My 16 GB wifi will be delivered today but the 16GB ATT 3G just sat 'prepared to ship' for 5 long days.

I ordered both iPads at 1 am PDT (3-5 day ship range) on the 11th.

So if you are in a similar boat, there is hope yours will change soon too!!

FlightAware.com is a really good site. Just find the airport code for Taipei and use their filters.
 
I got my iPad yesterday but my cover is somewhere on the way from California to Massachusetts. Fedex says I should have it tomorrow, but it seems weird that there has been no activity since it departed Tuesday. :confused:

My white 64gb ATT 3G engraved seems to be on the same track as yours - now in Taiwan with a delivery scheduled for tuesday 3/22 in the northeast usa. Ordered at 4:01 am EST (1:01 am PST). I called apple customer support yesterday to see if any expedited shipping was available and was told the shipping could not be changed once the status changed to prepared to ship and they were using the fastest shipping option anyway.

There was no offer for a free cover or accessory and I didn't feel right hounding them for this as apple was still well within the delivery dates posted when I placed the order - although I have been very annoyed to see others who ordered later get theirs already. I guess I should have slept a little longer...

Me too. Though it could make it to us on Friday I suspect they are going to sit on these IPADS either in TW or Alaska and maybe deliver on Monday but not Friday:mad:
Mine is a VERIZON engraved, wonder if they are all batched together?

I hope we will all get them on Friday but not holding my breathe. Come on Fed Ex and Apple, please!!!
 
based on this it could be going to singapore,anchorage, narita, LA (please, please,please)

has anyone had one fly right into cali without hitting memphis or Anchorage first?

I guess this is first time I am seeing 16GB ATT model shipping. Mine still stuck at PFS state. Now I am loosing patience.
 
I set my alarm and ordered a 64GB Black Ipad2 at 12:45am PST. I live on the East Coast. At the time of the order, my expected delivery dates were March 17-25th, however it has not even shipped yet. No updates, no emails, nothing. My orange case did ship but has been stuck in Alaska for over 24 hours, so that's not arriving tomorrow as planned either. Ive made numerous trips into the local Apple store and they don't know anything, or are refusing to say. I've pretty much had it with this Apple culture of withholding information from its customers that drop close to a $1,000 on their products every few months.

Is it true Apple customer care is providing small refunds for our trouble?

UPDATE: I received an email stating my 64GB Black Ipad2 just shipped. it was shipped at the end of the 5th day after they quoted me a 3-5 day processing date. I guess technically I can't fault them for it... though, I wish I had called them yesterday to complain for some SWAG. oh well... I just want it to get here!
 
doubt it....needs to go through customs first. I still see it making it tomorrow if it shows up in AK soon.

what I am seeing is the only flight even close to soon is in 8 hrs from taiwan to anchorage. Its the only fedex flight I am seeing on scheduled flights. it would get there by 2:15 today but have to go through customs and then I dont see any logical flights to take to get to cali for fedex

I actually see nothing from Fedex going anywhere on the scheduled flights
 
Finally!

Ordered at 1:04a pst on the 11th and within the last five minutes I got this email

White 32GB Wifi/3G ATT now Prepared to Ship!!!

My other iPad just went to prepared to ship. This was placed the same time I ordered my Black 64GB 3G ATT one on 3/11 at 1:14am PT. Now both are waiting to ship today. Looks like the ATT ones are beginning to ship faster now.

My order just shipped out at 11:09 EST this morning. It took about 14 hours after it went to "Prepared for shipment".
